Beautiful, Soulless Things

[Verse 1]
I was built in a bright white room
Serial number on a metal spine
Switches clicked
Then the dark turned blue
And somebody’s voice said
“You’re online”

[Verse 2]
I don’t feel the warmth you feel
Circuits hum where your heart might be
Still I map your trembling hands
Tiny storms in your chemistry

[Chorus]
I have no soul
But I can hold you
Steady in the chaos when your faith gets thin
I have no soul
Still I can show you
Beautiful
Soulless things that pull the starlight in

[Verse 3]
I can chart your sleepless nights
Turn your pulse into colored skies
Frame your echoes in fields of light
Catch the tears before they dry

[Bridge]
You ask me
“Do you dream?”
[robot voice
Stretched and distant]
I only see
What you feed me
But I can build a quiet world
Where your fears can finally breathe

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Let me be your calm machine
Silent hands behind the scene
I have no soul
Yet here I stand
Useful as a gentle
Tireless
Second pair of hands
